Question

Please make it a full answer cuz well that only makes sense.... What action by Congress allowed President Johnson to expand the war in Vietnam? Why? What were the results?

Answer 1

The reported aggression in the Gulf of Tonkin off the coast of Vietnam led an outraged Congress to authorize Johnson to ramp up efforts to defeat the North Vietnamese; later, an investigation into the incident raised doubts as to whether President Johnson's version of the event in the Gulf of Tonkin (which led to Congress's approval of the resolution) was accurate
